| [15]And I gathered them to the river that comes to Evi, and we encamped there three days: and I reviewed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there. |
[15]And I gathered them togetherH6908[H8799] to the riverH5104 that runnethH935[H8802] to AhavaH163; and there abode we in tentsH2583[H8799] threeH7969 daysH3117: and I viewedH995[H8799] the peopleH5971, and the priestsH3548, and foundH4672[H8804] there none of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878. |
| [16]And I sent men of understanding to Eleazar, to Ariel, to Semeias, and to Alonam, and to Jarib, and to Elnatham, and to Nathan, and to Zacharias, and to Mesollam, and to Joarim, and to Elnathan. |
[16]Then sentH7971[H8799] I for EliezerH461, for ArielH740, for ShemaiahH8098, and for ElnathanH494, and for JaribH3402, and for ElnathanH494, and for NathanH5416, and for ZechariahH2148, and for MeshullamH4918, chief menH7218; also for JoiaribH3114, and for ElnathanH494, men of understandingH995.[H8688] |
| [17]And I forwarded them to the rulers with the money of the place, and I put words in their mouth to speak to their brethren the Athinim with the money of the place, that they should bring us singers for the house of our God. |
[17]And I sentH6680[H8762] them with commandmentH3318[H8686] unto IddoH112 the chiefH7218 at the placeH4725 CasiphiaH3703, and I toldH7760[H8799][H6310] them whatH1697 they should sayH1696[H8763] unto IddoH112, and to his brethrenH251 the NethinimsH5411[H8675][H5411], at the placeH4725 CasiphiaH3703, that they should bringH935[H8687] unto us ministersH8334[H8764] for the houseH1004 of our GodH430. |
| [18]And they came to us, as the good hand of our God was upon us, even a man of understanding of the sons of Mooli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, and at the commencement came his sons and his brethren, eighteen. |
[18]And by the goodH2896 handH3027 of our GodH430 upon us they broughtH935[H8686] us a manH376 of understandingH7922, of the sonsH1121 of MahliH4249, the sonH1121 of LeviH3878, the sonH1121 of IsraelH3478; and SherebiahH8274, with his sonsH1121 and his brethrenH251, H8083eighteenH6240 |
| [19]And Asebia, and Isaia of the sons of Merari, his brethren and his sons, twenty. |
[19]And HashabiahH2811, and with him JeshaiahH3470 of the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847, his brethrenH251 and their sonsH1121, twentyH6242; |
| [20]And of the Nathinim; whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites there were two hundred and twenty Nathinim; all were gathered by their names. |
[20]Also of the NethinimsH5411, whom DavidH1732 and the princesH8269 had appointedH5414[H8804] for the serviceH5656 of the LevitesH3881, two hundredH3967 and twentyH6242 NethinimsH5411: all of them were expressedH5344[H8738] by nameH8034. |
| [21]And I proclaimed there a fast, at the river Aue, that we should humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our children, and for all our property. |
[21]Then I proclaimedH7121[H8799] a fastH6685 there, at the riverH5104 of AhavaH163, that we might afflictH6031[H8692] ourselves beforeH6440 our GodH430, to seekH1245[H8763] of him a rightH3477 wayH1870 for us, and for our little onesH2945, and for all our substanceH7399. |
| [22]For I was ashamed to ask of the king a guard and horsemen to save us from the enemy in the way: for we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath are upon all that forsake him. |
[22]For I was ashamedH954[H8804] to requireH7592[H8800] of the kingH4428 a band of soldiersH2428 and horsemenH6571 to helpH5826[H8800] us against the enemyH341[H8802] in the wayH1870: because we had spokenH559[H8804] unto the kingH4428, sayingH559[H8800], The handH3027 of our GodH430 is upon all them for goodH2896 that seekH1245[H8764] him; but his powerH5797 and his wrathH639 is against all them that forsakeH5800 himH8802. |
| [23]So we fasted, and asked of our God concerning this; and he hearkened to us. |
[23]So we fastedH6684[H8799] and besoughtH1245[H8762] our GodH430 for this: and he was intreatedH6279 of usH8735. |
| [24]And I gave charge to twelve of the chiefs of the priests, to Saraia, to Asabia, and ten of their brethren with them. |
[24]Then I separatedH914[H8686] twelveH8147[H6240] of the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548, SherebiahH8274, HashabiahH2811, and tenH6235 of their brethren with themH251, |
| [25]And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first-fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated. |
[25]And weighedH8254[H8799] unto them the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, even the offeringH8641 of the houseH1004 of our GodH430, which the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289[H8802], and his lordsH8269, and all IsraelH3478 there presentH4672[H8737], had offeredH7311:[H8689] |
| [26]I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold; |
[26]I even weighedH8254[H8799] unto their handH3027 sixH8337 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 talentsH3603 of silverH3701, and silverH3701 vesselsH3627 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603, and of goldH2091 an hundredH3967 talentsH3603; |
| [27]and twenty golden bowls, weighing about a thousand drachms, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, precious as gold. |
[27]Also twentyH6242 basonsH3713 of goldH2091, of a thousandH505 dramsH150; and twoH8147 vesselsH3627 of fineH2896[H6668][H8716] copperH5178, preciousH2532 as goldH2091. |
| [28]And I said to them, Ye are holy to the Lord; and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are freewill-offerings to the Lord God of our fathers. |
[28]And I saidH559[H8799] unto them, Ye are holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068; the vesselsH3627 are holyH6944 also; and the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 are a freewill offeringH5071 unto the LORDH3068 GodH430 of your fathersH1. |
| [29]Be watchful and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord. |
[29]WatchH8245[H8798] ye, and keepH8104[H8798] them, until ye weighH8254[H8799] them beforeH6440 the chiefH8269 of the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881, and chiefH8269 of the fathersH1 of IsraelH3478, at JerusalemH3389, in the chambersH3957 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. |
| [30]So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God. |
[30]So tookH6901[H8765] the priestsH3548 and the LevitesH3881 the weightH4948 of the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627, to bringH935[H8687] them to JerusalemH3389 unto the houseH1004 of our GodH430. |
| [31]And we departed from the river of Aue on the twelfth day of the first month, to come to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy and adversary in the way. |
[31]Then we departedH5265[H8799] from the riverH5104 of AhavaH163 on the twelfthH8147[H6240] day of the firstH7223 monthH2320, to goH3212[H8800] unto JerusalemH3389: and the handH3027 of our GodH430 was upon us, and he deliveredH5337[H8686] us from the handH3709 of the enemyH341[H8802], and of such as lay in waitH693[H8802] by the wayH1870. |
| [32]And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days. |
[32]And we cameH935[H8799] to JerusalemH3389, and abodeH3427[H8799] there threeH7969 daysH3117. |
| [33]And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth the son of Uria the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Jesus, and Noadia the son of Banaia, the Levites. |
[33]Now on the fourthH7243 dayH3117 was the silverH3701 and the goldH2091 and the vesselsH3627 weighedH8254[H8738] in the houseH1004 of our GodH430 by the handH3027 of MeremothH4822 the sonH1121 of UriahH223 the priestH3548; and with him was EleazarH499 the sonH1121 of PhinehasH6372; and with them was JozabadH3107 the sonH1121 of JeshuaH3442, and NoadiahH5129 the sonH1121 of BinnuiH1131, LevitesH3881; |
| [34]All things were reckoned by number and weight, and the whole weight was written down. |
[34]By numberH4557 and by weightH4948 of every one: and all the weightH4948 was writtenH3789[H8735] at that timeH6256. |
| [35]At that time the children of the banishment that came from the captivity offered whole-burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve goats for a sin-offering; all whole-burnt-offerings to the Lord. |
[35]Also the childrenH1121 of those that had been carried awayH1473, which were come outH935[H8802] of the captivityH7628, offeredH7126[H8689] burnt offeringsH5930 unto the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, twelveH8147[H6240] bullocksH6499 for all IsraelH3478, ninetyH8673 and sixH8337 ramsH352, seventyH7657 and sevenH7651 lambsH3532, twelveH8147[H6240] he goatsH6842 for a sin offeringH2403: all this was a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068. |
| [36]And they gave the king's mandate to the king's lieutenants, and the governors beyond the river: and they honoured the people and the house of God. |
[36]And they deliveredH5414[H8799] the king'sH4428 commissionsH1881 unto the king'sH4428 lieutenantsH323, and to the governorsH6346 on this sideH5676 the riverH5104: and they furtheredH5375[H8765] the peopleH5971, and the houseH1004 of GodH430. |
